U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is visiting Asia, entered Malaysia on the 2nd.

Taiwanese media reports that the chairman will visit Taiwan on the evening of the 2nd despite strong opposition from China and will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen on the 3rd.

U.S. House Speaker Pelosi is visiting Asia with a delegation of lawmakers, visiting Singapore on the 1st and entering Malaysia on the 2nd.



In the statement earlier released by Chairman Pelosi, he said that he would visit South Korea and Japan after this, and there was no mention of Taiwan. I'm here.



According to reports, the chairman will stay overnight in Taipei and meet with President Tsai Ing-wen on the 3rd.



He also said he will visit the Legislative Yuan, Taiwan's parliament.



The Taiwanese authorities have a policy of not publicly confirming the visit plan unless Chairman Pelosi reveals the visit plan. I just say, "I respect you."



Speaker Pelosi is second only to the vice president in terms of succession to presidential powers, and if a sitting Speaker of the House actually visits Taiwan, it will be the first time in 25 years since Gingrich in 1997.



The Chinese government, which claims that "Taiwan is part of China," is firmly opposed to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, saying, "If he visits Taiwan, we will take strong countermeasures. The military will never stand by." I am strongly restraining you.

Chinese military conducts military drills

Since the end of last month, the Chinese military has been conducting military exercises one after another in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.



State-run China Central Television reported on the 30th of last month that the Eastern Theater Command, which has jurisdiction over the East China Sea, recently conducted live-fire drills at sea to improve its operational capabilities.



According to the announcement by the Chinese authorities, on the 30th of last month, live-fire training was also conducted in the waters near Pingtan Island in Fujian Province, which is located on the opposite side of Taiwan.



Hong Kong media, citing military experts, said the series of military exercises was a warning to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is rumored to be visiting Taiwan.

Chinese military and state media release military-related video

In China, the military and state-run media have released military-related footage amid rumors of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.



On the 1st, the Chinese military, the Eastern Theater Command, which has jurisdiction over the East China Sea, released a video titled "Ready for battle and waiting."



Although the exact date and location where the video was filmed has not been disclosed, it is believed to be aimed at keeping the United States in check as it strengthens its involvement in Taiwan.



In addition, state-run China Central Television reported a video of a missile being launched in a video released on the 30th of last month ahead of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese military.



The Global Times, a Chinese Communist Party-affiliated media, said an expert said that the missile is believed to be a hypersonic missile "Dongfeng 17", and it may be the first time that footage of the launch has been released.



In addition, the Dongfeng 17, which targets aircraft carriers, is said to be difficult to intercept with the existing missile defense network, and as Chairman Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is rumored, he tells the United States that all countermeasures can be taken. I'm assuming you have an intention.
